Novel maize‐based dietary fibers were tested for their effects on glycemic response (GR) and true metabolizable energy (TME) characteristics using canine and avian animal models, respectively. F4‐810 had a relative glycemic response (RGR) value of 24.53, whereas higher values were obtained for F4‐810LS (50.20) and F4‐809 (61.84) with the 10 DE maltodextrin (M) value set at 100. F4‐810LS, F4‐810, and F4‐809 had similar TME values (1.73, 2.00, and 2.35 kcal/g, respectively). These values were lower (P<0.05) than the value for M (4.06 kcal/g). These novel carbohydrates with low TME values and relatively low RGR values promise to offer flexible inclusion of dietary fiber in food product formulations.
